There's already some drama (I think premature?) over at the PF2 subreddit saying that the Remaster is going to "nerf" spellcasters, when some feel like spellcasters already were too weak in PF2. I touch that here, but my focus is on summarizing and giving my thoughts on the PF2 Remaster Core Preview (link below)!

(I have a separate video planned for the caster controversy.)
